NBA Brings Competition to the Runway

NBA players have a reputation for embracing fashion on and off the basketball court, so it only makes sense that, for New York Fashion Week, NBA players will take the runway on Friday. Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is producing the NBA’s first-ever fashion show with his production company, Springhill, in association with Turner Sports and IMG.

Billed as a “competition,” the show will pair current NBA players with a model and a stylist to walk the runway. The pool of eight players in the first round will be narrowed down to four in the semifinals, and a final face-off. The three rounds will each have their own themes, consisting of dressing for the boardroom, for a night out, and for the big game.
